new to tractors and added ant-gelling but it started to gell it got -30 so i added more but still runs then stops i plain on dumping fuel and starting again i did also use 911 and it did help but then did the same thing again. iam thinking bad fuel, is there another filter besides the air breather filter one because i cant see one. plus i did bleed the fuel filter buy air breather screw . is that the way to get air out of it? thanks for any info, trying to get it fix before tonight its going to get colder! lm43 should be the same as 433

Nothing worse then a gelled up tractor. In the winter I run winter blend blend (like Cenex Ruby Red) in the tank. Can you get the tractor out off the cold and does it have a block heater? Once you have the blend fuel in the tractor I would recommend that you replace your fuel filter. Check you operator manual page 88 for instructions on bleeding fuel filter. Have you reached out to you dealer for assistance?

Which anti gel additive did you use. Power service 911 will thaw it, but it will gel back up. How old is the diesel? Was it winter fuel? I agree nothing worse than gelled fuel.

sorry it took me all day to get it fixed, had to run into town for a heater to warm it up , yes it was winter blend and it was the fuel filter that was gelled up . cleaned out both filters and ran 911 through it, did the lines like they said. started to blow out the drive and then the cheap fuel filter outlet came un-glued! you would think that the glass fuel filter in/out lets would be made into the main body and not glued in.

Glad to see you got it figured out. The good thing is, now u know the symptoms and how to fix.
